DEAD IN A BARN.
The Singular End of q We'll Known
 Wood Peddler.

Wood Peddler.
 William Allen was found dead yesterday morning in the old Tanning barn on Hamil- ton street. He was lying head downwards in the hay rack over the manager of the sec ond stall. The remains were discovered by Joseph Tanning, the owner of the barn. He recognized the corpse as that of William Allen, well known wood peddler, who has sold wood in the lower part of the city for years past. For three months past deceased had slept nights in the Tanning barn. Mir. Tanning, as soon as he could rally from the shock of such discovery, notified the police and Officer Gelston took charge of the re- mains until Dr. White al lived, who came at 10 o'clock. Deceased had evidently rolled off from his blanket in the hay loft while asleep and fell in such a way as to be strangled, the head and shoulders being wedged in between the wall and the slsts of the rack. Blood had issued profusely from his mouth and nostrils. He was probably stunned by the fall and unable to shout for help. He was last seen alive at o'clock the previous even- ing on the corner of St. John and Hamilton streets and did not appear to be intoxicated. He was a harmless, quiet man aged about 40. He had relativess in Woonsocket, R. l. The interment will probably be in Pot ter's Field. The Tanning barn is the place where the Tanning gang of young roughs and burglars who were bound over to the Superior court on Wednesday were captured by the police.

Great Good Luck of Samuel w. Bar

 Melbourne avenue, North Toronto, has for the past few days been scene of intense ex- citement. It was whispered that one of the residents held lucky ticket in the Louisiana State lottery drawing on the 9th ult. The News found the fortunate man to be Samuel Ward Bal rett, 105 Melbou1 ne avenue, fore man bookbi1der at Gage & Co.'s, Yelling ton street.
 Mr. Bal iett was found at his place of bus mess, and in answer to the reporters inqui- ries said, while broad smile lighted up his whole countenance, 'fI had no faith in the lottery business; but four months ago one of the men induced me to invest in it. l sent t1 the New Orleans National bank in New Orleans to find out how could get tickets.

 "Did you cell at the Central bank and draw the money?" "No. I allowed it to re- main there on deposit to my credit"
 Had you other tickets in the same draw inga" ''No. I only had one. The whole business since commenced cost me for tick cts, postage, etc, four dollars and thirty two cents, and now stand in five thorsand dol lars ahead"
 'I suppose you will go more extensively into lottery business hereafter?" "No, will continue to send my dollar every month. But tell you they gre going to do 8 pile of business here now. No less than one hun dred tickets have been sent for since I got the prize" He turned around, and pointing to the numerous employees. said: "Wny, all these have sent for tickets, and they intend to continue as monthly subscribers. ."-To- ronto (Ont.)

The purse was $200. Skip took first mon- ey, Queen Ray second, Alice K. third and Bob Moran fourth.
 The 2:32 class did not excite much inter est as N. w. Hubinger's Mollie Mitchell was not we'll and was not brought on the track. H. G. Smith had said previously that he did not intend to trot Pequot, but as soon as he saw that Mollie Mitchell was not to finish the race he had no hesitation in bringing Pequot out. The first heat wes trotted on Wednes- day. Pequot took the next two heats with out much trouble. After the second heat the driver of Lotta A. whipped his horse after the finish, apparently angered because he came near being distanced.
 In the third heat considerable com motion was caused by Dr. c. B. Adams, agent of the Connecticut Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, calling to the driver of Joe to stop applying the whip af- ter the finish had been made. The driver had put up considerable money on his horse in the pools and he was provoked to think Joe did no better, and he applied the whip alter the race was over. Dr. Adams went out on the track to talk to Nelson, and the latter did considerable talking back and said he did not want to be told when and where not to whip his horse. He would do it when he thought best. He was told if lie said anything more that he would be placed un- der arrest. Dr. Adams threatened to have both the drivers tested, but finally con- cluded not to. The following ' the

A wATERY TRACK.

Trotting Yesterday Afternoon at Ham. Ilton Park-Dr. Adams Threatens to Arrest Two of the Drfvers-Skip and PequOt Win the Unfinished Races RsOllie Mitchell Does Not Appear The Races to Conclude To-Day.
 Again was the New Haven Driving asso- citation unfortunate yesterday. The rain had put the track in horrible condition. There were probably 800 people present to witness the finishing of the class not finished on Wednesday, The water in some places was several inches deep on the track and covered half the width of the track. Especially was this so just in front of the judges stand, continuing toward the first turn. Every one bestowed sympathy on the drivers who drove the horses in the first and second positions. Each time the horses scored the drivers re- ceived a shower bath.
 The s:40 class was finished first. Queen Ray and Skip had each taken two heats. After the horses had scored two or three times, the judges called H. G. Smith, the driver of Alice K., to the stand and took him off the sulky, placing Doll Rimple, of Boston, in his place. Skip was the favorite, selling in the pools for $10 and the field for $S. It was a decidedly wet day for the pools, and with most everything else. At the start Queen Ray broke. Skip took the lead, and at the half Bob Moran was leading Skip by half a neck, with Alice third and Queen Ray fourth. The latter broke again. On the last turn Bob was pulled out by his driver, Ed. Doty to let Skip pass him on the inside, and on the homestretch Skip was allowed to come in ahead, Doty holding his horse back. The judges decided this no heat on account of this action by Bob's driver. Doty's father was rather loud in saying that it was skin on the part of the judges, because Skip was not a New Haven horse and a favorite in the pools won, it appeared from what Doty said that he wanted the earth. Insomuch as on Wednesday the judges were fair and square enough to give the third heat to Skip, al though they could have easily given 1t toRQueen Ray. It would appear as if Mr. Do- ty was altogether too previous. The heat was of the rankest kind on Bob Moran's part. The judges showed their good sense in not tolerating any such disgracetul work.
 In the next heat Skip took the lead, but did good deal of running during the heat. At the half Ada was a length behind Skip. Queen Ray could do very little on such heavy track, and at no time did she press Skip. Skip held the lead throughout. The following is the complete
